A loss to Collingwood, the team they so desperatly want to be, will hit them so hard and it will stay with them for some time.
Collingwood, you need to bury this team. Its time to step up and teach them a lesson. |
Lesson learnt. My message to Essendon; Dont EVER question the integrity of this team! We are Collingwood. We are fair. We are honest. We play for eachother. We work hard. You were humiliated by a team that truly knows how to play honestly and fairly. This loss will stick with you for a long time and your supporters, as blind as they are, deserve better.

We're getting players back and into form at the right time of the year, anything could happen over the next 2 months.
Great win, loved it.  |
Agree - When we play 4 QTRS Makes massive Difference. We do that and we are 1 of the best teams in the Comp

Great win by the boys. Played like they meant it.
I was hoping our banner wasn't a sign of things to come, didn't stand up to well to the rain!
Hopefully with the crowd a smidgen under 70K, it will make the AFL realise this timeslot is just dumb. Even with the weather a Saturday afternoon/night game would have seen 80K attend. As it was not being on FTA probably bumped the crowd higher.

Even if everyone was fit I reckon only Toovey, Daisy and maybe Young would get a game in that side tonight, even Fasolo and Jolly are no certainties anymore.
We will give the Swans and Hawks a good old shake now, and we are the one team no one wants to play in an elimination final in week 1.
Great win tonight, so happy. |
Seedsman!

DTM... you were right
Not saying that the brand new much, much more mobile ruck combination was the difference but.... What a difference |
Glad you love him

Cloke with Reid and Lynch as 3rd option - tick
Goldsack as an option either end tall or mid - tick
Marley and Sinkers as hard at it backs - tick
Harry with dash - tick
Ball in an under with spread from Swanny, Pendles and Beams - tick
Best 4 quarter effort, plenty of pressure and took our chances. Like it when this team turns up. Nice to get some continuity into Sack, Keefe, Ball etc. |
Does that then turn N Brown into a key forward?

Great wine, great effort, well done boys, that is the way we want to play football.
4 sustained quarters of quality intensity.
Enjoy the moment
season now hangs on doing that for the rest of the year |

Well...
It will be our best game for the year. |
Usually not the type to say I told you so but whatever!

A great "wine" would make today perfect!
The weekend actually
Hawks lost, cats lost, boos lost, smashed the cheats, happy happy happy
Nothing to whinge about
And yes, I booed, and boy wasnt the boos for no. 4 loud!
Go Pies!
Play like that, no one can beat us, pressure pressure pressure

| On the drive home Terry Wallace via SEN was still concerned with Keefe up against the likes of Franklin or Tippett when we come up against the top sides. I'm glad we finally got Brown, Reid and Keefe in the 22 because at least Keefe and Reid are versatile enough to switch forward and back if needed. |

My Thoughts:
Finally Played 4 Qtrs
Grundy and Lynch together worked really well
Reid and Cloke did well up Forward. 8 Goal Between Them
Steele was Awsome
Ball Mark on Goddard was Great
N Brown had his best game of the Season
Harry O was Important
Keeffe did a Very Good Job

Clean hands and tackles that stuck by 22 players stood out for me. |

now THAT'S the way you play football!
My bag was soaked but I didn't give a sht.
As someone else said: order has been restored. We are above the Tigers on the ladder! hahaha
That was fun booing good ol' jobe.
And goddard, what a wanker!! Thought he could pull a luke ball but he will "NEVER win a premiership"!
Harry O and Sidey stand outs. Reid and Cloke duo looking better all the time. Blair was ferocious.
That was exciting football. Best win this season, absolutely. Although the first win against the scum was pretty good too.
Can we back it up next week?? My little group nearly pulled the pin on the Sydney trip after the Gold Coast debacle, glad we didn't now!  |

| fantastic all round effort today by the team. played an intense and hard four quarters of footy that would have beaten anyone and of course we destroyed the drug cheats. poor crowd but i guess most would have been put off by the weather if not the time slot. i was impressed with everyone's game today, no one took the easy road. hit em hard from start to finish and that's what has been missing all year. hope this means we've switched on finally but the big test will be next week. go pies! |
